Postgraduate Study

We have a range of taught masters courses (MLitt or PGDiploma), where students study specialist reading modules in their particular area of interest as well as core modules in historical theory and skills.

You can study on campus MLitt courses in the general areas of:

History

Scottish History

or more specialist courses in:

Gender, Culture & Society

Global Empires

Greater Britain in the 20th Century

Some of these students go on to study for a PhD, a detailed study of a historical topic leading to thesis of 80-100,000 words.
